SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- The California Highway Patrol is investigating a bizarre attack on the Golden Gate Bridge. Someone armed with a blow gun shot darts at two visitors walking across the bridge.
It happened around 2 p.m. Friday on the east sidewalk of the span. Two different people were each hit with a blow dart as they were on the bridge walking toward Vista Point in Sausalito.
The two people were not seriously injured. They were treated by a paramedic at Vista Point and then released.
The CHP wants to track down the person or people who did this. They showed us both blow darts are about four inches long. One of them penetrated one victim's thigh pretty deep.

I’m still looking for a 1950s movie in which explorers crossing a river are attacked by natives with blow guns.
One explorer gets a dart in the forearm, the arm turns black and they have to whack it off right there.
They fight off the attack with cannon they are pulling across the river.
Our targets were car grilles (from our hidey-blowhole), because they all had nifty front ends back there.
Great fun.....
There’s some sort of poison from a frog that they used, if I recall correctly.
If it went in two inches there was a fair amount of force behind it. Are they sure it was a blow dart and not a dart gun?
A local archery shop owner got into blow guns for awhile. I was amazed at the power and accuracy he developed. Had to use plyers to pull them out of a wood backstop.
So it’s someone very skilled in their use, if blow darts were actually what was used?
They can just come my day job and dip their darts in the coffee.
Be on the look-out for people wearing feathered hats.
Not much skill needed. Most people catch on after a few practice shots.
This is a job for Young Sherlock Holmes...
PYGMYIES...?
Mountain Man: I bet you can squeal like a pig. Weeeeeeee!
The return of Dart Man?
I think we can expect MORE OF THIS, as Trump rolls up Primary victories. After all, they just took out Scalia.
We need to WATCH OUT for each other.
Looks like that dog is about to have a large litter of pups.
